A taste of their own medicine.

More socially empathetic individuals would have attacked Sony's corporate systems, not the network that likeminded individuals used. Propaganda is all well and good, but picking your battles is the key to winning a war.

Re: A taste of their own medicine.

Did you read the article? If by some hollywood style fantasy the FT has been duped by the evil Sony overlords then you might be right!

If however you follow the links in the article to the annonymous website, you will see it is not conjecture. If it is fabricated, then it is annonymous up to something themselves.

You are welcome to hate Sony. I'm not a fan of any big corporation. But why defend the position of people that ruined the experience of 77 million gamers, when they should've been out looking for a girlfriend?

If you can post a link as to why it's conjecture (not the girlfriend thing, that's fact) that would be constructive. Thanks.

Re: A taste of their own medicine.

Agreed, sony's previous strategy has been to literally sue the internet, pull twitter/paypal/IP hits, etc from geohot and others sites on a massive data mining exercise.

I do suspect that sony blaming anonymous is a massive deflection and using them as a scapegoat, what would reassure people more? that some "random bunch of internet people" did it in a "revenge attack" or that some proper organised set of people did it for financial gain?

Re: A taste of their own medicine.

You might be right. But we are not talking about whether or not annonymous are entierely responsible for the hack. We know by their own admission that they started the DOS attacks. You may be correct that someone else did the rest.

But are you seriously suggesting after reading the article and following the links in it, that the Sony corporation hacked and defaced the annonymous website??
